Conclusions
The installed base
• Almost all companies in this survey have at least 1 printer in the office, and 52% have an MFP
• Maintenance of document output devices is generally done by the same department, and even people, as the IT equipment.
The purchase process for DODs
• The main criteria for buying DODs are : cost per page for service & supplies, network compatibility, image quality and service & support. There are significant differences between the 6 countries.
• The Dutch place the most importance on TCO
• Half of the companies interviewed plan to purchase at least 1 printer, about 1/4 plan to buy an MFP and a scanner, but only 10% plan to purchase a standalone fax machine.

Conclusions (2)
The importance of Documents and Document Output Devices
• A majority of company decisionmakers recognize the importance of
DODs in contributing to worker productivity and hence to the success of
the company
Document management Strategy
• Only 1/3 of all European companies actually have a document management strategy in place, although this is the case for half of the medium and big companies; the Dutch have the highest proportion of the 6 countries.
• Responsibility for the strategy is shared between the top CxO functions and the IT manager…when there is one; in big companies in the Netherlands the IT manager is most often the major decision-maker
• The only costs that are measured by a majority of companies are : the initial purchase price, consumables and maintenance costs, although in bigger companies IT support and IT infrastructure tend to be measured more closely (in Holland in particular).
